(This is probably not what you watch me for!

Sorry. I'm just going to post whatever I doodle up here from now on, and I have not had as much time for concepty backgrounds, so if you want to see those I am afraid I will not be doing much of them in the foreseeable future. Cancel your watches, save your inbox some pressure. :p)



I've been looking at xamag's classy homestuck fanart lately and I really enjoy her cartoony style, so I did a few drawings to try to learn from it. This is the doodle I ended up liking best (despite some anatomy fail. Let's all pretend this girl has a neck and isn't just holding her decapitated head in her hand haha.)

As a rambly aside-- animation school has taught me that solid drawing is what gets your drawings to make that leap from 'pretty nice but not quite cohesive' to 'deliberately constructed looking'. It was challenging to try to think of every element in a picture as a 3d form with weight and perspective, but I think it is really helping me improve!

Here's a short article bu JohnK on solid drawing-- I wouldn't be surprised if many of you guys already know the concept, but if not, or if you just want a refresher, you might find this useful. : )

Happy day after valentine's day. Or technically, two days after at this point.

Progressive. Cartoony in a highly effective manner.

On an entirely unrelated note, just wanted to say your grammar is an absolute joy to read. Refreshing.

Keep fighting the good fight Miss BlueFruit.
